Key features of the iPhone XS

There are plenty of key talking points when it comes to the iPhone XS, including the smartphone’s custom OLED display. This feature delivers users with the most accurate colour in the industry, as well as HDR and true blacks. Keeping with the ground-breaking theme, the iPhone XS also boasts the most durable glass ever designed for a smartphone.

Then there’s the device’s A12 Bionic chip with Apple’s next-generation Neural Engine — the smartest and most powerful chip ever featured in a smartphone. When compared to the A11 Bionic chip, the A12 delivers up to 50% faster graphics performance, up to 50% lower power usage in efficiency cores and up to 15% faster performance cores.

Find yourself taking loads of photos when you have your smartphone in your hand? Then you’ll also be pleased to hear that the iPhone XS comes complete with a rear 12MP dual camera that boasts an improved true tone flash when paired with Smart HDR technology — incredibly detailed images area snap away, while being able to manage exposure no matter how challenging the lighting scenario. There’s even a depth of field slider, which gives you the opportunity to adjust the background blurriness with ease while in portrait mode.

Key features of the iPhone XS Max

As you may have noticed from the table above, there’s a lot of similarities between the iPhone XS Max and the iPhone XS — including that incredibly powerful A12 Bionic chip and those hi-tech cameras.

However, what enables the iPhone XS Max to stand out from the other new iPhones about to hit the market is that this particular device features the largest display to ever be present on an Apple iPhone. Specifically, you’ll be working with a huge 6.5-inch OLED display complete with 2,688×1,242 resolution and 458ppi sharpness when accessing an XS Max.

Key features of the iPhone XR

The iPhone XR is effectively the budget model of the three new iPhone models to have been revealed by Apple in 2018. Don’t worry though, as it’s a device that offers so much value for your money.

For one, the XR’s design features an all-new Liquid Retina display — a feature that enables the smartphone to claim the honour of having the most advanced LCD in the industry, as well as the most colour-accurate. The device’s display stretches right into the corners too, meaning it’s the largest LCD ever on an iPhone.

The iPhone XR also shares various impressive features with the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, including that same revolutionary A12 bionic chip and identical TrueDepth camera.

You can pre-order both the iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max from September 14th, ahead of the two smartphones hitting the market on September 21st. Meanwhile, the iPhone XR can be pre-ordered from October 19th and will ship on October 26th.

I’ve always been a lover of gadgets. Anything that makes my life that little bit easier is a good investment. So this week, when we were offered the chance to try out the Vremi Apple Slicer I just couldn’t say no. I always need a helping hand in the kitchen and with two littles that love their fruit, this product was sure to come in handy!

Helping to make life simple –

When our apple slicer arrived, I was the first one to use it at the girls’ snack time. They eat a selection of fruit everyday and apples are one of their favourites! I usually spend a while chopping up their apples to remove the pips and the skin for the littlest. This time though, all I had to do was use my new apple slicer! In no time at all the pips were cut out and the apple was in perfect slices, ready for both girls to enjoy.

As well as being an apple slicer, this handy bit of kit also comes with a potato cutting blade and a mango slicer. I have used all of these and I can safely say that my time spent in the kitchen has become so much more efficient! As with most of the Vremi products we’ve tried out, when you’re finished using the slicer, all you have to do is put it in the dishwasher. Easy clean and no mess!

If you’d like the chance to win your own Vremi Baking Cups and Apple Slicer, all you have to do is enter using the form below. Please do take a peek at the terms and conditions…good luck!

I hope that when these two look back on their childhood, they remember having a bloody good time! It's been a National Trust weekend and one that has been a long time coming ❤️ At the minute all I'm thinking about is cancer and how it has such a disastrous effect on everyone's lives It's exhausting, which is why a weekend all about these two was just what we needed. I'm sad that half term is over. It's back to school madness over here tonight Is everyone ready to get back to routine? #thebloomforum#documentyourdays#childhoodunplugged#candidchildhood#thelifestylecollective#our_everyday_moments#childofig

This year, my world has been rocked by cancer. It's not something I can talk to much about, as I want to protect the person involved. It's not easy for anyone, especially not for them. Cancer isn't on anyone's list of things to do in a lifetime and if we could change things, we would. Since it reared its ugly head, I've had a lot of time to think. I've decided that there are a few things that I need to remember as I go through life and maybe others should too; ❤️ ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL. Especially for the small

FIVE THINGS I’M FEELING ABOUT THIS KID STARTING SCHOOL - 1. RELIEF - After having two girls 10.5 months apart, parenting two under one and surviving the last four years, I’m finally going to get a little freedom back in my life. 2. SADNESS - That the ‘baby stage’ is well and truly over for us. 3. OPTIMISTIC - About the effect having more time to dedicate will have on this little business of mine. 4. HEARTBROKEN - My littlest baby is about to be thrown out into the world. Away from my protection. It was hard enough letting one

There's been a lot of speculation recently about the use of the #ad tag. Some people don't mind seeing it, others REALLY hate it. I get where both of these opinions come from. I've been lucky enough to build up my online business, to the point of working with brands on a regular basis. I'm proud to have gotten this far and I hope to continue on this incredible journey for a long time to come. The #ad thing has been playing on my mind though, so I just wanted to be honest with everyone who supports me across all
